I attend Kingsborough Community College in New York City, and I have to write a research paper which is due tomorrow for my English class. (Tomorrow will actually be the last day of classes before final exams.) I don't know how to continue it. Look what I wrote so far:

What makes a suicide bomber tick?

What makes a suicide bomber tick? I guess, his belief that he'll go to heaven in the afterlife. By definition, the suicide bomber is someone who kills others while killing himself in order to maximize the number of victims. He kills them to make a political statement that he wants Israel to be destroyed, that he doesn't like the society in the United States, or that he doesn't like non-Muslims. Of course, I don't wanna say that Islam is the reason people kill, but why there are more Islamic terrorists, than, for example, Jewish terrorists? I guess that's how the Islamic society is structured now: most people are peaceful and many are terrorists. But why specifically in the Islamic society are there more people who agree to kill others? I guess, they have less education and don't know the difference between right and wrong. But why specifically many Islamic people have less education than, for example, Americans or other people? I guess because many or most Islamic countries are not democracies unlike the United States or Israel are. That means, Islamic suicide bombers are more easily brainwashed into doing some evil things like killing someone. Also, their families get a financial compensation if they kill somebody while dying themselves.

First of all, when you commit suicide, you go to Hell. Second, I would expand on the idea about suicide bombers dying for what they believe in. Basically, if you want to continue, you need to expand your ideas a little bit and go beyond what you read in the papers. :wink:
